This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
It's clear they made this weird on purpose but still, so many questions...
the robot hangs suspended from the ceiling as its limbs twitch and kick, marking what the company claims is a step toward its goal of creating household-helper robots
Oh yeah, definitely a huge step in that direction...
Clone Robotics designed the Protoclone with a polymer skeleton that replicates 206 human bones
That's all of the bones of an human adult. Yeah, I'm sure absolutely all of them were necessary.
I don’t understand these companies’ obsession with humanoid robots. A robot doesn’t have to humanoid to be a useful household helper. It doesn’t even have to be humanoid for people to form a friendly bond with it (something I think would be a good quality in a “household helper”) just look at Star Wars droids
A humanoid robot can operate in the existing world. It can climb stairs and open a door, for example. A robot on wheels without arms can't do that.
That's weird they decided to publish this with creepy horror-style sounds.
There is another video, showing only the torso. It has no music, but the actual sound and this is not even less terrifying https://youtu.be/gl0GnzPIOl4
Pretty sure I've seen this one in a Silent Hill game
